It was one year ago today that Drake had dropped the physical album version of "If You're Reading This It's Too Late", a mixtape he had released back in February of 2015. The album also featured collaborations with fellow OVO Sound member PARTYNEXTDOOR and hip hop artist Travis Scott. Upon its release, music critics gave the rapper a number of positive reviews, and soon after, a 5 city tour was announced by Drake himself, calling it 'The Jungle Tour', which he also brought to Toronto.
Fast forward to this year and Drake is still the talk of the town, or should I say...the world!! He is the biggest rapper in the industry right now and it seems that every move this guy makes becomes a headline on every social media outlet. For months now, he had been teasing everyone about his upcoming album titled 'Views from the 6'. From billboards in the city of Toronto, to pictures of him in the studio, Drake sure knows how to keep his fans waiting. However we can now say that the wait is finally over: 'Views from the 6' is set to be released on April 29.
So far, fans have been introduced to two songs: 'Pop Style', featuring Jay-Z and Kanye West, and 'One Dance' (my personal favorite). Once again, Drake is working with his usual crew, producers Noah "40" Shebib (his right hand man) as well as Boi-1da. However people are also hinting that the rapper may have also been in the studio with Kendrick Lamar and Willow Smith, after he posted some questionable pictures on his Instagram account. In a recent interview, Noah "40" revealed that the album will be what everybody wants and expects from Drake, and that it'll have new flows and new patterns.
For the fans, I'm sure the anticipation is killing them (I know it's killing me!); but for Drake, this will be just another one of his biggest accomplishments.
